PS. Have you ever wondered the true definition of a snapshot?

snapshot: ‘originally a shooting term, meaning a shot taken with little or no delay in aiming…from the 1970’s some photographers, seeing a stylistic virtue in this perceived lack of sophistication created work that was grouped under the general label of ‘the snapshot aesthetic‘. (The Oxford Companion to the Photograph, 2005).

snapshot: ‘any photograph taken quickly, usually by an amateur…(the snapshot) began to fascinate professional photographers in the second half of the 20th century; the result was a ‘snapshot aesthetic’ within contemporary art photography, in which the speed of execution and the concept of chance are consciously embraced.’ (The Thames & Hudson Dictionary of Photography, 2015).

Draw Near to God

The morning sunshine illuminates the clouds in the blue sky, and evaporates the fog in the tree tops as well. God is love, and invites us to draw near to Him. So that we can be illuminated with His Light, and allow Him to remove the fog we often have with finding our purpose. Copyright 2018 Frank J Casella. Click here to purchase.

“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you of two minds.” — James 4:8
